Unger,s Confession.

New YORK. Jan. Edward Un-
ger, who murdered August Bohle and
shipped his mangled remains in a
trunk to Baltimore, made a full con-
fessiOn Sunday. He said he and Boble
quarreled one night when alone, and
Bohle tried to stab him. Unger then
got q hammer and crushed his skull.
He put the body under bed in the
room where he and his son slept. The
next day when alone, Unger sawed
up the body, taking the head, wrap
ped up in papers, and throwing it into
the river He said he did not intend
to kill Bohle, and shipped the body in
the trunk to save the family from dis
grace. The confession was wrung
from Unger by a plan of Inspector
Byrnes. At almost every. turn he
would be confronted by some evidence
of his crime. He was not allowed to
talk to any one except people who
knew him and Bohle. One night he
was called into the Jail corridor, where
the lights were turned low and he
could see nothing except Byrnes stand
ing and pointing to the trunk which
held Bohle's body. He almost tainted
when placed on the bloody sofa on
which Bohls lay when he killed him.
When irritated almost to insanity by
these sights, Unger confessed all.

Bob KENNEDY treated the Senate to

Bob KENNEDY treated the Senate to
another genuine surprise on Thursday
when at the solicitation of Republican
precedent had been established, that
nounced that he would reverse his
outrageous decision of January 7th, in
which he dacided that fifteen Senators
could reconsider the action of the SEN
ate, and that majority of quorum
or ten members could transact busi-
ness. This was big dish of crow and
by eating it Kennedy acknowledged
thai. he had trampled upon the con-
stitution, and his party having profit
ed by it, he would now reverse his de
cisiOn.
By reversing this decision he further
acknowledges that he was violating
the constitution of the great State OF
Ohio and the rules of the Ohio Senate
in the memorable contest in which be
decided that seventeen Senators, OIL
two less than a quorum, could transact
business. 1t Is self-evident that to
| decide that two less than quorum
can transact business is just rs bad as
deciding that four less can.
Kennedy now seeks to whitewash
his infamy by reversing his decision
| but by doing this he only convinces
the people OF Ohio that he ia danger

The great strike of the longshore-
men on the wharves of N. Y. City,
Brooklyn and Jersey City, in which
81, 900 laborers are involved, has nearly
paraly zed water transportation at those
points for the time being. 1t threat
ems to extend to the coal regions, re
stricting mining, thereby creating
temporary coal famine. The surface
railroads of N. Y. city are likely to
be involved through sympathy of its
employees with the strikers and alleged
grievances in unjust and obnoxious
requirements recently promulgated in
their management. The stevedores
show symptoms of uneasiness, some
of them refusing to work. But little
violence has resulted, so far. Jas. F.
Quinn, a member of the executive
BOARD of the Longshoremen's Union,
has been arrested for conspiracy, and
given bail to answer in q suit for $50,

have held similar charges as penal.
While in sympathy with all legitimate
efforts of labor to exact from capital
its just demands, in the light of events
the boycott and strikes are rather the
obstac les than the helpful agencies in
securing the demands in contention
whether just or otherwise.

ALLENTOWN, PA, Jan. 29.-Satur.
day morning burglars broke into the
office of DIR. J. g. II llegrass, of Penns-
burg, and secured a safe weighing 1900
pounds, in which was large sum of
money and bonds and papers valued
at $50 900. They loaded it upon truck
on the PerklOmen road and started
south. When near McLean's station
the whistle of fast freight was heard
approaching them on the same track.
Not having time to unload, the bur-
glars deserted the truck and ran off
The morning was very dark, and the
engineer did not see the obstruction
until the engine struck it with great
force. The truck was shattered and
the safe thrown into the ditch. The
truck contained lot of bars, picks,
etc stolen from a tool house, which
were to be used in prying open the
safe. No serious damage was done to
the train.

THE following are the grounds on
which Judge Pike, of Toledo, decided
the local option feature of the Dow
law unconstitutional, and refused to
dissolve the injunction restraining the
Mayor and village from enforcing the
law:
First, that the Waterville ordinance
is bI Oader than section s of the Dow
law would permit; and second, that
section ii (Uue local option clause of
the Dow law is unconstitutional. He
bases its uuconstitutiOnality on the
fact that the people in 1883 refused to
pass prohibition amendment, thus
refusing to give the Legislature pow
er which they now attempt to delegate
to municipal corporations; that it is
in contravention of section 26, article
2, of the State constitution, providing
that laws of a general nature shall
have uniform operation thu Oughout
the State, and not be dependent On
the approval of any other authority
than the General Assembly, and the
payment of tax previous to carrying
on lawful business makes that bust
uess vested right during the time
for which the tax Is paid.

SENATOR INGALLS,, in his speech on
the retaliatory" bill the other day,
gave England a terrible scoring, and
there was a great deal more of truth
than poetry in his remarks. He said
England has always been a ruffian,
a coward and bully among the ma
tions of the earth insolent to the
weak, tyranical to the feeble, and
cringing and obsequious to the strong.
Her history for Centuries has been a
record of crime against the human
race-in L eland, in Wales, in Scot
land, against the Roman Catholics,
against the Beers of South Africa.
against the Hindoos and the Chinese.
Wherever there has been weak, y
feeble, a helpless nation, Great Britain
has been there for the purpose of IA
pacity, plunder and conquest. Eng
land bears no good will to this coun
try. Her course has always been ons
of insolence, wrong and outrage. Eng
land cheated the South with false
hopes of recognition, and injured the
North by violations of neutrality and
there is no special reciprocity of good
will on the part of America toward
England There are few Americans
who do not regret Waterloo"

1T is asserted that crime, in a certain
phase. at given times is epidemic. 1t
would seem equally true of a mania
leading to self-destruction. Hardly
had the grave closed over the victims
of the Cabalek tragedy in Cleveland,
when another like horrible occurrence
darkened the humble, though happy
home of Bohemian family, resulting
in the death of a mother and babe,
the wife and child of Frank Roth, on
Friday last. After partaking of their
noon meal, during which Mrs. Roth
seemed cheerful in manner and con-
versation. Roth returned to his work,
leaving .his wife and child in company
with Mrs. Roth's mother. Soon after
the departure of her husband Mrs.
Roth procured a box of rough on rats,
ostensibly for the purpose of Kidding
her house of rodents, at drug store.
Returning, it is supposed che gave a
portion of the deadly poison to her
babe In milk, and then swallowed a
large dose herself. she in the mean
time having sent her mother OH
| an errand, that she might not be
| thwarted in her plans of self-destruc-
lion aud taking the life of her babe.
| Upon the return of her mother she
| found both in terrible commissions
| On the arrival of her husband, medi-
cal assistance was summoned, without
avail, and she died in great agony at
7:30 o'clock in the evening, the babe
expiring soon after the death of its
mother. The reading of the Cabaled
tragedy is thought to have affected
her mind, and induced morbid state
of insanity which led to the terrible
act.
